Installed Dynomat,now car wont start

Okay..Stripped out the interior and did an install of Dynomat. Went out this morning to start the car and ive got power but no fuel. The low fuel warning light is on but before i did the install i had half a tank and theres no evidence of any tampering with the gas door or cap. The only wiring i disconnected was the console itself[cigarette lighter,etc] Any clues what i could have done?

Any chance the connector on top of the tank was messed with? Make sure thats still plugged in.

And you are sure that you didn't cut any of the fuel pump wiring while doing the install?

you have either disconnected or damaged the wiring to the fuel pump/fuel level sending unit .. start from there .. or better still .. check the fuse 1st ..

yep sounds like you probably knocked the fuel pump fuse loose...happened to my old car when installing front door panel speakers...

if not that, then check all fuel pump connections and wires

Sorted! I took apart a pair of connectors in the right rear to get better access for the deadner and forgot to put them back together. DUUUH. Thanks for the responses!

How do you like the Dynomat? Did it make much difference? I want a little less road noise in my car.
